White Pansies, Zinc and Flea Finds



Our Easter weekend was a bit different this year as many family members were out of town....but it was still wonderful....full of bright sunshine, flea markets, special friends with sweet little girls, new friends and a delicious Easter dinner...
... and some down time just for relaxation too.



I was able to spend a morning at the flea market and found some fun things that I wanted to share with you...
...first this little poultry feeder....the perfect size for a few white pansies...














I loved the color on this flowered enamel plate...
...the chips don't bother me a bit!
...Now, those initials...LDC
...could they say....Laura Doesn't Clean?
...no, no...that can't be right...
Laura's Dreams Cometh?
...moving on...



I found seven of these blue and white flowered enamel plates...



a handful of crystals and two tarnished mother of pearl knives...





...two little old tins and a wonderful, tiny wicker covered bottle... c 1900



...and some rusty finials...
...There was lots more...I will save a few pics for a later post...



I've also been rooting around in the cellar and digging up some old zinc items, watering cans, tin things, etc, etc.



White pansies look pretty with everything!



I hope that you are having some warm spring sunshine where you are...
or for my friends on the other side of the world...perhaps at least sunny skies!
...and I hope your week ahead brings all good things!

Zinc Watering Cans



Putting away all the zinc watering cans that line the deck and and sit in the garden at the lake...



Asking myself...
...."Can I sail through the changing ocean tides...
Can I handle the seasons of my life"...?







...and these are just the ones at the lake house...way too much of this stuff!

"Times they are a changin'".....

Maybe in 2010 I will begin to part with some of these things...maybe an Etsy vintage shop...Ebay...or a booth in an antique mall or maybe I can sell at shows and flea markets like we did back in the 70's....

"To everything there is a season,
a time for every purpose under the sun"....

Finding my way!
